Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work A Premonitional Work, No. 1, Gullfoss (Golden Falls), Iceland, 1987 by Thomas Joshua Cooper was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,653.99). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Thomas Joshua Cooper; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Unexpected Nightfall- The Mid North Atlantic Ocean, Porto Moniz, The Island of Madeira (Near the North-most point of the Island), Portugal sold at auction in June 2008 with the realized price of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 10,270.27).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Premonitional Work, No. 1, Gullfoss (Golden Falls), Iceland, 1987 von Thomas Joshua Cooper im April 2006 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 8.400,00 (€ 6.653,99) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Thomas Joshua Cooper; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Unexpected Nightfall- The Mid North Atlantic Ocean, Porto Moniz, The Island of Madeira (Near the North-most point of the Island), Portugal im Juni 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 10.270,27).
